There was something that Brother Cornette kept saying during the revioble, and I think

Pastor even touched on it he U when he would call us to the aunt,

he would say, there's somebody who needs to make a promise to God.

Somebody us needs to make a vow to God. And that kept going

over in my mind, and of course throughout that week I thought about don't

make a foolish good and what the Bible says about don't vow something that you're

not going you know you're not going to pay, um, that you're not

willing to pay, that you're not able to pay today, am I reading,

and then that led to, um, if you make a vow,

then you need to do what you said, you need to obey it.

And I got to thinking about when we got saved, we promised God that

would be a soldier. We'd promised God that would be a Christian. That's

something that we've got to Um, We've got to obey that promise because we

made him our lord and savior, and as our lord, whatever he bids

us, we must obey. And that I came across his verse today in

my read it was Hebrews five nine. He says, and being made perfect,

he became the author of eternal salvation unto all of them that obey him.

And then also as I was going through the photo circle today, there

was two comments that were recent and they both talked about obeying God for this

service was one and one was talking about for the upcoming um for the convention.

And so that that kept going over my mind. As you made a

promise and following through his obedience and whatsoever evinced me I want to do.

I'm a glad pilgrim on my way. Gold opens to understand saying that I

never knew sinking to reason that could be somebody's the way is what us taking

me? So said, why Jesus away? I happy go? It sounds

like he Besis. Why should I side only a side side. I'm on

my other. I got leave the shuff my my, take myself away,

my time. I always love the same. That's golf like mind myself for

the mom. He's exactly sounds the church inside, all the child, this

much everything. I M. Yeah, alrighty oh, thank God. I

want to say, I'm thankful to be in the house for God to not

um looking forward to see you what God has a score. There's been a

verse that's been on my heart. I was reading been several days ago.

Before I um went into work. I tried to read and pray every morning

for good and it's John chapter ten, verse one. It says, verily,

verily, I say under you he that entereth not by the dory to

the sheep fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same as a

thief and a robber. I'll begin to think, you know, that's where

a lot of people mess up, is trying to do things their own way,

going a different way, and that don't I think right there was mainly

talking about salvation, but it's not just salvation, sanctification, the Holy Ghost

and different things you know getting refilled. You got to submit to God and

he'll take care of you. And brother Tyler, would you please prayer of

this offer. I'm so glad I hear seriti God allwy different brains have the

boys be lame? Should got the stool seeing spiking my back whereby I said

it was the jorious be held stop when you need us me go back riding

all my time. I'll hear you do me. I have a plan and

we'll rest me. You won't be talking to he is mine to listen at

plan time. My plans to show my breast on the home when the Lord

sing the worst see and Iforial do me your count shaving for my back biding

along time, I still told me you were he walks playing my game,

Beorial shaming you out. I got saved my pass. Well let me ride

by iorious seen if I won't the way design be durned Jesus one, I

can't fight my well, my well, do your time out. I go

to my backside of my every day. I'll let me. I love you.

Was I heard the thing please I got of God I all your don

your house. You're gonna be say my boy on my lone wherever day after

be I have work that listen walk to be heart a man, Thank you

musicians, ain't y'all thank you for the presence of the Lord. And then

we're so grateful for what we feel tonight, what the Lord's already done.

And then we know he has great plans and man above what we can thank

or ask amen things that God could do in this service. M I was

thinking while I was over there, there was a part in that first song

with something that stood out to me and talked about unless you do what the

Lord says do, you're not gonna get what you've been asking for. You

know, there's there's some people that they get in trouble because they they ask

certain things because the Bible says they want to consume it on their own lust,

and they ask a miss amen. But here tonight we're looking forward to

what God's want to do Amen. His as has often said that altar service

maybe is uh if you would, though sometimes they call it the most important

part of the service, and it truly can't be if you let it be

Amen. But there's too many people sometimes they get down Pastor and they ask

a miss They they asked to please so and so, and they asked so

so and so see a change. But it's got to be more than a

mess. It's gotta be more than just so someone makes you feel good and

said, wow, I remember how so and so used to be now a

little bit where God's brought him to Amen. That would be a bad way

to pray. That would be a bad reason to pray. A man.

We pray because we've got to be perfected. We've got to grow a man.

We want Brother Philip to get ready and come around and preach to us.

We know he's got a burden. Amen. But if you don't let

it affect you the way it needs to a man, if you don't let

God work on you when you do things a mess, Amen, it's not

gonna have the desired effect of God. You know God's gonna desire for the

non service. Amen. But don't standing the way. Come on, brother

Philip, preach to us tonight. Let's worship the Lord. Amen, the

Lord, Thank Pastor Howe and Brother to Thaming for the opportunity. So I've

had going over and over and in my mind something I heard of the rand

new Web say one time speaking of a man. They said, it's I

think it's a fictitious story. Um. He was stranding on an island all

by himself, and so sometime went by, they went to rescue and they

said, sir, what's that building? He said, all, that's my

church, And they said, well, what's that building? Then it's just

you. He said, that's the church I used to go to. So

I think the Lord for the spirit of unity we feel here. Um,

we'll be reading out of the Book of Judges, chapter sixteen, in verse

one. Yeah, help us the starting verse one to read verse one and

two. Then went Samson to Gaza and saw there in harley and went in

onto her. And it was told the gay's eyes saying sam Si has come

hither. And they could passed him in and laid wait for him all night

in the gate of the city. And we're quiet all the night, save

in the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. Stretch

your hands with heaven or prey. We know if Samson as a as a

mighty man of God. There for a time, and uh we read in

uh it's second it's Judges chapter fifteen. We read of Samson how he slayed

one thousand men with the jaw bone of an ass one chapter prior to him

going into the into a harlet Delilah. And in that same chapter, after

he killed the one thousand men, he starts asking God, shall I die

of thirst? And as we know in the previous chapter we just read,

God didn't let that happen. He supplied him water out of the jaw bone.

And uh, I will be quite lengthy right here for a moment in

my reading, we'll Judges will read of Judges sixteen three through twenty. He

says, and Sampson lads hill till midnight, and a rose at midnight and

took the door of the gates of the city and the two posts, and

went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders

and carry them up to the top of the heel. That that is before

hebron And it come to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley

of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the Lord of the Philistines come

up unto her, and said, unto her, entice him, and see

where in his great strength Liah And by what means we might prevail against him,

that we might bind him to afflict him, and we will give Thee

every one of us eleven hundred, eleven hundred pieces of silver. I'm not

mistaken. I believe Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty I gotta think of Judas,

what a fool. No money's worth it. But Delilah got eleven hundred.

We don't know how many lords of the Philistine, how many lords of the

Philistine there was, So I mean she fared pretty well. And it says

and Delilah said to Sampson, tell me, I'm pretty where in thy Greek

strength lithe? And wherewith wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee and senses

sitting to her, If thou, if thoy, if they bind me with

seven green widths which were never dried, I then I shall be weak and

be as any other man. And then the lord of the Philistines brought up

under her seven width which had not been dried. And she brought him,

and she bound him with them. And there were many men laying in way,

abiding, abiding with her in the chamber, and she said on it

unto him, the Philistines be upon thee sensing, and he breaked the whist

with a thread of two, as a thread of toe is broken when it

touches the fire, so that his strength was not known. And Deliah said,

on the sense, and behold, thou hast mocked me and told me

lies. Now tell me I pray thee wherewith thou mightest be bound? And

he's sitting to her. If they bind me fast with new ropes were never

occupied, then I shall be weak and be as any other men. The

Lilah therefore took new ropes and bound him therew and said to him, the

Philistines be upon thee Sampson, And there were liers in wait abiding in the

chamber, and he breaked, and he breaked them from off his arms like

a thread. And Delilah said, under Simpson, here too, if thou

hast mocked me and told me lies, tell me where when thou mightest be

bound? And he's said it to her, if thou weavest to set of

locks of my head with the web, and she fastened it with the pen,

and said to him, the Philistines be upon the Simpson. And he

awaked out of his sleep and went away with a pen of the beam with

it and with the web. And she said to him, how canst thou

say I love THEE when thy heart is not with me? Thou hast mocked

me these three times, and hath not told me where in thy great strength

lion. And it come to pass when she when she pressed him daily with

her words and urged him so that his soul was vexed unto death. And

he told her all his heart and said, unto her, therefore, have

not a razor come upon my head, For I have been in Nazare unto

God. I got to think about brother Calebs Testimon what he said. There

is some of some vows we take that we have to we have to stay

committed to says, I have been a NAZAREI under God from my mother's womb.

If I be shaven, then if I be shaven, then my strength

will be gone from me, and I shall become weak and be as any

other man. And when the Lata saw that he had told her all his

heart, she's see called for the lords of the Philistines saved come up this

once, for he has showed me all his heart. Then the lord of

the lords of the Philistines come up unto her and brought her and brought money

in their hands. They knew they'd had him this time. They could tell

by how the Lalla was active. And she made him sleep upon her knees,

and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off

the seven locks of of his head, and she began to afflict him,

and his strength went out from him, and she said to the philistines.

She said, the philistines be upon the sense, and then he will woke

out of his sleep, and said, I will go out for any other

time. I will go out as at other times before I and shake myself.

And he whisked, not that the Lord had departed from him. It

was lengthy reading, but I felt led to read that us got found my

place here. I've got so many notes right now. What stood out to

me is the um. Verse three. It says, um, let me

find and he knew stuff that was wrong, that there was a possible set

up, um he could do. He knew he was doing wrong, ye

Andy. In Verse five, it says, and the Lord of the phillis

things come up to her, and setting to her, entiree him and see

where it in his great strength liath I gotta think about that um, find

out find out where his strength liath, and that they would give her um

one thousand, eleven hundred pieces of silver and piece. What stood out to

me is Samson be a fool. She literally righted. She even went so

far as to ask him wherewith they all mightus be bound to afflict thee SAMs

If that's your seven, your second, uh, I would call your second

blister. You started feeling you knew something wasn't or right, And uh if

if I'm very thankful every time you feel that blister, that uncomfortable. And

then in a verse seven, Simpson begins to lie to her three verse seven

and Simpson set up on her. If they buyd me with seven dream with

that will never drive, then I shall be weakened me as any other man.

Samson was right here in this moment we realized he was really playing games

with this. He decided just to I. Maybe if he would have come

right out with it from the beginning and said, I'll tell you I'm a

nather right, I got a call on my life from God, then maybe

Delilah would have never had the chance. He should have took he the first

time she said that they all mightus be bound to afflict there and then Uh,

it's in the same verse, I believe I were to then Samson alive

so much, his blister begins to get callous, and he starts getting closer

to the truth. Um it's in verse seventeen. I believe it says that

he told her all his heart now too far ahead, pardon me, um,

helpless lord Um right here vers sam begins to lie to her and tell

her if he'd be bound with the whist And then she said, Samson,

the philistines be upon me and he broke them as a thread. And in

verse ten she begins to play with Samson's emotions and tell him you mocked me

and lied to me. Samson should have never fooled around that first time they

get caught him this trap. And then in verse eleven he lies again and

then he starts. Um. He tells her get the ropes that have never

occupied, never been used. That was also another lie. Um, it

says its lot so much. His blister begins to callous, and he starts,

uh getting closer to the truth. In verse seventeen, it says,

I wrote my prone verse down. I guess um that was lord, and

a lot was said her named Sampson, here to it. Thou hast mocked

me and told me, lies, tell me where when thou litest be bound?

And he said, in to hear, if thou weavest the seven locks

in my head with the web. Right there, Sampson starts getting so close

to the truth. It's scarily how close he gets. He decides Um at

that point, you know, he starts getting so close to it. I

don't know why he would get so comfortable with a harlot like that. And

he said, in to hear, if thou weavest the seven locks in my

head with the web, some of that stuff me, I missed it somewhere.

I lost my track. Um in them versus you read and she says,

Samson, the Philistines be upon thee, and it says that they were

in the chamber with the Lilla. At this point it was a game with

Samson. You don't wake up being bound and see somebody coming out of this

hardly that you're with chamber that's like a back bedroom. He knew it was

a setup, but he kept playing around time and time and time again,

and we had to learn to be wiser than the devil with those things.

I gotta think about. That is so sad that SAMs and it had truly

become a game for him. He was having a kick out of it.

Go ahead and buy my hands, go ahead and buy my hair, and

then just fool around and wake me up, and I'll shake myself. Let

me put a show on for you, baby. That's really sad. He

begins to get camped and starts to tell the truth. And then at fifteen

she said, unto him, how canst thou say I love THEE with thine

heart is gnaw with me? Thou hast mocked me these three times, and

hast not told me wherein my great strength lieth? And when she impressed him

daily with her words and urged him so that his soul was vexed unto death,

that's that's really hard to believe her. And then it uh verse seventeen

when we read that when it says so that was starting to bott a sixteen.

So it's his soul was vexed unto death that he told her, always

heard and said under her, thou hast there hath not a razor come upon

my head, For I have been a Nazarite under God from my mother's wound.

If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me and I

was, and I shall become weak and be like any other man. Yeah,

was hard. Oh, I gotta think of that. This right here

at Sating is getting so callous. He's so close to the truth. Then

it says, and when she had told, and when and when she had

told that he had told him. He told her his heart she'd speaking to

the Philistine, the lord of the Philistines. They called for the Philistine men,

and she made him sleep upon her knees and had a man shave off

the seven locks that he had. See. I gotta thinking about if Samson

wouldn't have food around. I believe it's seeing First thirteen where he's telling her

to weave his hair. Now right here it comes back to Guinea my chance.

Maybe it's it might not have been the same day, but maybe his

hair was already weaving. I got when I was the child. I always

thought of that. Um, how in the world he's sleeping, How do

you complete? I would wake up? But I guess if it's already woven

into seven locks, it's much easier to shave off. Because he was fooling

a sound. It was already gone prepared and we had to We can't get

callous in these things that I thank the Lord for every time he deals with

us. And I've almost done, but the thing that's done to me,

I, oh, then I'm here to tell someone to night. You don't

have to be like Sampson. You don't have to sear your conscience with a

hot iron. I gotta think if Sampson would have UM would have done better.

And in that time he could have UM. They could have told the

Philistine that first time they bounded him, rejoice not against the old mine enemy,

for when I fall, I shall arise. And the Lord really had

a call on Sampson's life as we read, and Uh, Sampson just playing

games man, he's having too much fun with Delilah, sitting there fooling around.

That's I want to go back to that. Um. I can find

it. The fact it's first seventeen. I believe no, uh where he's

speaking of where um where she tells them sense and the Philistines be upon the

and and he awakened that he sees him come out of the chamber. What

a fool? Why would any of us dare to be like that. We

know, and it's a set up. People will set you up here in

this life. And they know what she she had to him, knew he

was a Nazarite. He's he's not from that saying, I guess the same

country or you know area. He's come into their city after destroying one thousand

or their their men, and now he goes into their harlot and uh,

the foolishness is Sense and just really troubled me. And I don't I know,

it's pretty short, but we really don't have to be as foolish as

Sam. It's it's Craig, I don't know. Don't be a fool.

God God tried to help Sense, and many times, over and over and

over again he tried to help Sampson. He didn't He could have took it

strength the first time, but he gave Sampson yet again another try. And

uh, I think the Lord for what he's done. Let's just not get

callous to the blisters when our pastor comes down our room. Though. It's

bad enough to be to the point where you're getting blisters, but never never

ever get to the point where you're callous to where y'all can't deal with you

to where you shrug it off, to where you're saints and you're there to

put a show on him. Sanson was fooling around with the Liana want too

many, once, force too many, three times four time he playing games,

and we have to get to that point where we don't play games with

yad were where when we feel that blister, we say um. She said,

they're saying coming. I come into her house and said, they say,

well, hey, how can we afflict you? That's a Telchell sign.

So whenever you feel those the stains, don't get cattlest to it.

When the pastor priests is a message, heed it, don't do it,

don't get causis very very easy to think all the pick pick fortry listing or

whatever, where you just go. And that's kind of what Stand said.

He just I'll be all right, let me put on a show. He

said he loved this girl. Man, I think the Lord for what he's

done. And let's let's not let our blisters turn into calisis. Let's let's

let's stay soft hearted. We can't see her share her heart with an iron.

That's a I'd be a terrible place to be here. Yeah, I

think the Lord really just would you come to the pen of the night but

a man? Praise God if you would. Let's stand all over the house.

I mean, I believe God has spoken to someone, a man,

I know, a mean brother. Philip had him and a burden, and

the Lord as spoke. Amen. We can't afford to see our consciency a

man. We can't afford to get callous, A mean. We've got to

listen to God the first time. Amen. We've got to have ears to

hear in hearts and a willing to be obedient. Let's come on in and

praise who was you? Amen? Amen, Let's be honest with God.

Denied the Lord. It's me standing in the need of prayer. God,

I know, Lord, I need a change in my life. God help

us tonight even Lord, would you work? I take the way stair row

in the room straight, lady, riding to stay to be changing. I't

again in trance. I'm not taking it a trance. I'll take the road.

I know the way that time, it's the only one that will be

the roastle away istrange. But to me ride to him us you have me

chan to come to La. I'm not taking it any trans what people looking

me the thing, I'm just a little bit of a shrine, and they

can't believe, after all these years I still live away. They save the

time to change, say there is your place. You guess you have the

blessings without leaving bad way when you can think, why you please? But

what I found on my knees, it beans anything this world of fe I'm

not taking it any chances. I'll take the road. I know it's away

that I says, try don't know, but it's the only one cattle say

the road is strow with the way stro but didn't believe me right to him

and stain and run to. So I'm not taking it any chance. I'm

not taking any chance. I'll shake you God, I feels away. Now

let's try blow the only one least and the way is ray. I din't

play the ride to say, ask me to shake to I'm not taking in

any chance. Looking me, they play I'm just a little bit old fashion.

All they can believe after all these years I still live away. Due

and they say the times to change the day, they're easier ways. You

can't still have the blessings without living bad way. But what I found on

by it meansing is a world of me. So why I'm not taking any

chance I'll take. I know he less rive. It's the only one that

the road said away stream, who didn't believe the right to game. You're

asking me to change to come too. I'm not taking any trans I'm not

taking any friends. He's trime, that lame be. The wood is terrow

and the way strange you did believe be right
